"Mr President, the Rules of Procedure allow for the interventions of the person tabling the motion, of one speaker in favour and of one against. I informed you at the start of the meeting that I wished to register in favour, as well as passing you a written document.
I thank you, therefore, for giving me the floor. I will be brief. I am in full agreement with this motion for referral back to committee, but I would like to add an essential reason, which is that the text of the proposed report particularly targets Italy, as is shown in the heading. There are, however, countries in our European Union where freedom of expression is much more seriously threatened. I am thinking of Belgium and France in particular: Belgium where, yesterday, a decision of the Ghent Court of Appeal, pronounced in accordance with some truly Stalinist legislation, condemned a perfectly legal and peaceable party, the Vlaams Blok. It is completely understandable that its growth worries its political rivals who, in this situation, practise the revolutionary logic of 'no freedom for the enemies of freedom', which is completely inadmissible.
Before telling Italy what to do, the parties involved in this villainy should set their own house in order."@en1
